Services and Process: Guide to Working with MuraWay Moving

MuraWay is a moving company based in Los Angeles with the motto Movers who care. Its professional repertoire includes a vast scope of services, among which are: packing, commercial moving, elderly moving service, local and long-distance moves, customizable moving operations.

The company advertises itself as a “team of qualified movers nearby” and guarantees a quick response, as well as assuming that your things will be transported with maximum diligence and care. At the time of writing, the staff includes 49 specialists who are not afraid of relocating pianos, wardrobes, sofas, floor clocks, and maybe even Easter Island’s stone heads

Plus, MuraWay offers a free consultation if you want to estimate your costs. According to their website, you’ll be able to reduce the expenditures with their help as they know how to keep the relocation process fast and efficient, unlike inexperienced people who want to move stuff on their own and end up overpaying for gas.

As a nice bonus, MuraWay moving company is ready to lend you some packing materials at an extra price: bubble wrap, boxes of various sizes, and even blankets that can prevent some serious mechanical damage.

You can move with this crew inside California as they offer intercity relocation. Interstate shipping is also mentioned at their website murawaymoving.com. However, according to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, the company’s interstate delivery license isn’t active. (Last checked May 5, 2023.)

Apart from typical domestic items, the MuraWay moving team is ready to take care of specialized equipment, small items and even valuable antiques.

Evaluating Costs of MuraWay Moving Compared to Other Movers

As with other moving companies, MuraWay charges hourly, offering two service packages:

Local moving

• 2 movers/1 truck. Starting at $129/hr (credit card).
• 3 movers 1 truck. Starting at $169/hr (credit card).
• 4 movers 1 truck. Starting at $209/hr (credit card).

Long distance

This is interstate shipping that includes Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, and Washington. Cali’s Sacramento is also marked as a long-distance trip. Price will depend on your destination, starting at $1 799 (Las Vegas).

As for packing materials, they come at a pretty atrocious price. For example 1 foot of bubble wrap will cost you $1 — on Amazon you can grab 175 feet for just $21. At the same time, renting a large moving box (18” x 18” x 24”) costs only $6 — compare it with its price of $50 online.

All in all, MuraWay charges a bit higher for local moving than some of their competitors. However, the company seems to provide a decent service if we look at the Yelp reviews. What’s great, they can take care of an emergency moving as well. But some clients complained about sporadic damage to their stuff (check our materials on how to avoid that).

Final Thoughts: A Summary of Insights

MuraWay charges a tad more than the others, but their pricing isn’t ridiculously high. They seem to care about their own reputation and as their clients report, the team has been treating them with politeness and understanding. The rich scope of professional services is a huge plus. However, they do not seem to be authorized to do interstate moves.
